Point a document parser at intake & triage, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at events ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Extraction-Powered Intake Triage for Ops Teams is a document parser aimed at events ops managers, covering intake & triage. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (87) and held back by moat (46). Typical pricing is $3.8k–$80k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $13k–$43k.
Events teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 13 hours a week. In most events businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Intake & triage handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Events is growing at roughly 16% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
